Tim240z Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Had my first race in the ZXT this morning. {setup for the locals: 04h30 I-405 N going up the Sepulveda Pass, just North of Getty Center Drive} Anyways, cruising along at about 75mph going up the hill and I pass a very nice silver 280ZXT (I know because it had all the OEM turbo badging and the 'turbo' stickers on the lower door). Well, obviously another nice Z perks my interest so I'm watching him out of the corner of my eye and I see him coming, not hellava fast but coming up on my right. So I'm thinking, maybe he just wants to pull along side and say HiYa, but taking no chances, I drop to 4th and hold my speed. He pulls next to me, then past me....so I think, It's on Man!!! Probably more due to gear selection than anything else, I drop the hammer, feel the rear squat like a sumo, and I squirt past him. As I get just along side him, I shift up to 5th, just to give a little taste of HKS SSV blow off! I wish my speedo went higher than 85mph, 'cause we were hauling....after I was satisfied that this could not be mistaken for anything other than a good spanking, I let off, and resumed my cruising. He came blowing by me and then slowed about 1/4 mile up the freeway. We played for a while and he exitted the freeway. Good fun, and better than a bucket of coffee at 4:30 in the morning. (BTW, even though it's the 405 freeway - worst traffic spot in the Nation - the traffic was very, very light) I think that, since my car has no badging and looks a bit rough (left front fender and bucket in primer) he thought it would be an easy spank...NOT!!!! Hey after 2 + years of being a member, my first kill story!! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
